qual, stamens 4 unequal, anthers villosc. Leaves 

 opposite serrate, flowers purple to complete 

 the compared account of all the Gerardias I 

 add this Genus, with some others not seen by 

 me r and very little known, which must be des- 

 cribed better hereafter. This appears medial 

 between Aureolaria and Dasistema, but the 

 calix and purple corollas differ from both. 



397. DASANTHERA FRUTICOSA R.Gerard ia do 

 Pursh &c shrubby, leaves lanceol. serrate sub- 

 petiolate, flowers racemose bracteate. Origon 

 Mts. only seen dry by Pursh and Torrey. 



398. DASANTHERA? CUNEIFOLIA Raf. Ger, do 

 Pursh 4* c perennial, branches erect, leaves 

 cuneate unequaly serrate, upper alternate, pe- 

 duncles axillary longer than leaves or bracts- 

 Florida, disc, by Bartram but not liisflammea, 

 of doubtful Gjeims not even seen by Elliot. Ca~ 

 lix 5parted and purple flowers. 



399. PAGESLA Raf. fl. lud. calix Sparted 

 unequal, upper segment larger, corolla tube 

 ventricose limb rotate bilabiate, upper lip re- 

 flexed flat emarginate, lower trilobe. Stain 4 

 didyn. style and stigma simple, capsule as in 

 Aureolaria. Leaves oppos. sessile, flowers ra- 

 cemose white This G. of mine 1817 is akin to 

 all the above, but distinct by the calix bilabiate, 

 white corolla 4*c. 



400. PAGESIA LEUCANTHA Raf. fl. lud. 149. 

 Stem weak decumbent 4gone ramose, leaves 

 sessile ovatoblong serrulate smooth, axils biau- 

 riculate, flowers racemose on long peduncles, 

 segments of calix striate in West Louisiana 

 and Texas probably, disc, by Robin, many 

 weak stems pedal, white smooth flowers, cap- 

 sule oval polysperm. This may be the white 

 flowered Ger. auriculata of Louisiana hinted 

 at by some botanists.
